3. Engine Monitoring Systems for
operational safety
KONGSBERG Engine Monitoring Systems are built on
KONGSBERG K-Chief hardware and software. They
consist of bearing wear and bearing temperature
monitoring of crank-train bearings, water in oil, cylinder
liner temperature and shaft power monitoring. The
Engine Monitoring Systems are fully scalable from
standalone to full integration with KONGSBERG
K-Chief alarm monitoring system and KONGSBERG
AutoChief propulsion control system. All systems are
recommended and approved by the major engine
designers and are an ideal basis for condition based
maintenance.
UNIQUE ENGINE PROTECTION
The KONGSBERG Engine Monitoring Systems provide
improved operational safety, reduced risk of
unforeseeable repair costs and optimized monitoring of
the engines.
?Bearing Wear Conditon Monitoring (BWCM) is
required to avoid open-up inspections (MAN B&W
2-stroke engines)
?Unique protection of the engine by using wireless
temperature monitoring of crank and crosshead
bearing
?Can be configured and combined to suit individual
needs
?Approved by MAN Diesel & Turbo for condition
based maintenance

SYSTEM PHILOSOPHY
Essential components such as bearing wear sensors
and wireless temperature sensors yield the best results
that technology has to offer in terms of reliability,
accuracy and durability. By utilizing the CAN field bus
protocol for engine instrumentation, installation costs
are reduced and the quality of data processing
enhanced.
The engine monitoring functionalities have been
developed in close co-operation with maritime
professionals, to ensure system functionalities that
work effectively and safely in real life operations. The
KONGSBERG Engine Monitoring System concept in
general and the individual modules utilize open
standards, which provide for interfaces to different
automation systems.
Utilize open standards for automation

Modular and scalable concept
Systems may easily be extended by adding additional
hardware units such as operator stations, input/output
modules and additional measuring points.
KONGSBERG System Technology offers signal
acquisition and processing units for installation in ER
cabinets, ECR consoles or mounted directly on the
engine. Processing algorithms are executed within the
local acquisition units or in the powerful controller units.
By distribution and segregation the consequences of a
system fault are reduced and may even be eliminated.
The KONGSBERG Engine Monitoring Systems
concept yields a modular design, where the various
modules can be configured and combined to suit
individual needs.
The individualised Engine Monitoring systems can then
be integrated with KONGSBERG K-Chief and
AutoChief system. Each module is fully compatible with
each other and therefore provides seamless
information sharing and a consistent operation
environment.

6. AVOIDING OPEN-UP INSPECTION
Condition monitoring of crank-train
bearings in 2-stroke diesel engines
The KONGSBERG Bearing Wear Condition Monitoring
(BWCM) system measures and displays the combined
physical wear of the crosshead, crank and main
bearings, providing early bearing seizure warnings if
problems occur during engine operation. The sensors
are specifically designed to provide reliable and
accurate measurements over years of operation inside
the engine.
Main Benefits
?Approved to avoid open-up inspections
?Unique long-term measuring accuracy
?Compact and simple cabling and
installation on the engine
?Full integration with KONGSBERG K-Chief
and AutoChief system
6
The BWCM system uses two sensors mounted in each
cylinder compartment, measuring every time the
crosshead passes Bottom Dead Centre. The
KONGSBERG BWCM sensors are compensated for
engine speed, engine load (cpp) and engine crank
case temperature.

7. Water in Oil sensor
The KONGSBERG Water in Oil sensor enables fast
and reliable detection of moisture in lubrication oil. It
can be used in online moisture monitoring and as a
control device.
The Water in Oil sensor measures moisture in oil in
terms of the water activity (aw) and temperature (T).
Water activity indicates directly whether there is a risk
of free water formation which causes corrosion of the
bearings. The measurement is also independent of oil
type and age.
The sensor incorporates the latest generation of the
HUMICAP® Sensor, which is the result of ten years of
field experience. It was developed for demanding
moisture measurement in liquid hydrocarbons. The
sensor's excellent chemical tolerance provides
accurate and reliable measurement over a wide
measurement range.
Avoiding open up inspection
The KONGSBERG Bearing Wear Conditon Monitoring
(BWCM) system is designed according to the
specifications of MAN Diesel & Turbo and received a
Type Approval according to Germanischer Lloyd’s (GL)
Guidelines for Machinery.
The following systems are part of a class survey
arrangement:
?BWCM system

SENTRY - For crankpin and crosshead
bearing temperature monitoring
The SENTRY wireless bearing temperature monitoring
system is capable of continuously measuring the
temperature of bearings during engine operation.
The wireless sensors are individually interrogated from
a multiplexed Signal Processing Unit (SPU) using a
high frequency and low energy radar pulse. The radar
pulse is transmitted to the wireless sensor via a coaxial
cable to a stationary antenna positioned inside the
crank case. Within the interrogation range of the
stationary antenna the sensor responds to the radar
pulse by reflecting a pulse pattern back to the SPU.
The characteristics of the reflected pulse are uniquely
defined by the temperature.
Main Benefits
?Continuously measuring temperature of the
bearings for fast response time
?Passive sensor, no battery required
?Proven and reliable technology
?Type Approved to replace Oil Mist Detectors

?Wireless temperature sensor
?Stationary reading antenna

WIRELESS TEMPERATURE SENSOR

9. Main bearing temperature sensors
Custom designed main bearing temperature sensors
can be fitted into any type of 2-stroke and 4-stroke
diesel engines. On 2-stroke engines the sensors are
mounted on the main bearing girder with the tip of the
sensor in direct contact with the bearing shell. The
sensor measures the combined temperatures of the
bearing shell and of the lubrication oil that flows from
the bearing. On 4-stroke engines the sensors are
inserted in the main bearing cap.
Monitoring cylinder liner temperature
The KONGSBERG cylinder liner monitoring system
monitors the piston running performance by measuring
the temperature of the upper part of the cylinder liners.
Increased friction between the piston rings and the
cylinder liner creates an elevated temperature level
leading to abnormal liner wear and potential piston ring
breakage. Temperature alarm limits can be individually
set on the PC work station to give early warning about
high thermal load and potential cylinder liner scuffing.
The KONGSBERG cylinder liner monitoring system
consists of high quality temperature sensors and one
field-bus signal converter on each cylinder and one
common Operator Station. Additionally, individual relay
output alarms can be provided directly to the cylinder
lubrication units in order to temporarily increase the
cylinder lubrication.
